Mueller demands Paul Manafort's bail be REVOKED after accusing ex Trump campaign chief of tampering with potential witnesses in Russia collusion investigation by sending them encrypted messages
Mueller filed a motion in federal court asking a judge to revoke Manafort’s bail, according to The New York Times.
Manafort has been indicted for financial crimes related to his work as a lobbyist for foreign actors.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller wants President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort (above) to be put in jail while he awaits trial because he allegedly tampered with witnesses
Prosecutors working with Mueller say that Manafort tried to contact witnesses in the case using an encrypted messaging program on his cell phone.
Mueller is now asking a judge to either revise the terms of his release or revoke it entirely, which could mean he will have to stay in jail until his trial.
In court papers, the FBI is alleging that at least one witness in the Manafort case was contacted by the former Trump aide and coached on what he should say about his lobbying practices.
The court filings are available here.
FBI Special Agent Brock Domin, in a declaration filed with Mueller’s motion, said Manafort had attempted to call, text and send encrypted messages in February to two people from The Hapsburg Group, a firm he worked with to promote the interests of Ukraine.
The FBI has documents and statements from the two people, as well as telephone records and documents recovered through a search of Manafort’s iCloud account showing that Trump’s former campaign manager attempted communication while he was out on bail, according to Domin.
The communications were 'in an effort to influence their testimony and to otherwise conceal evidence,' Domin wrote.
'The investigation into this matter is ongoing.'
Manafort is the most senior member of Trump’s campaign to be indicted, though the charges do not relate to campaign activities.
Trump has denied collusion with Russia and called Mueller’s investigation a 'witch hunt.'

Someone who didn’t want to get with a lying to the FBI charge.
Shit is set to go nuclear for Trump !!!!
Rachel broke that shit completely down with Manafort...Ali Velshi continued the breakdown filling in for Lawrence O'Donnell !!!
.
After some of these rulings by the supreme court, my question is that even if the President is indicted, could his case be tried before the supreme court? I guess by the time it would even get there, his presidency would be over anyway..
